garyd97 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 You just have to click on the online shopping tab on the main page. I ordered a set of paddles from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) You just have to click on the online shopping tab on the main page. I ordered a set of paddles from that. Cool, thanks for the heads-up. $40 for the regular Flashback 4 is a great price, but just $10 more for the $20 paddles included is even better!

Bill Loguidice Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Crazy, they're even selling the controllers in pairs instead of alone for $20. That's way off what they officially told me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) I'm curious... did you ever try a CX-10? Are the FB 3/4 sticks more similar CX-10 sticks instead of the more familiar CX-40? Also, I just heard your comment about Front Line and Coleco's supposed "sabotage". Front Line is quite a gem in the 2600 library, IMO, and shows that some of the Coleco titles were pretty good.

LYNXGUY Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) I went to Ebay and I bought a Atari Flashback 3 for $35 in excellent condition and I am due to get it within the next few days.

psquare75 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 FWIW, the feedback on Atari's facebook page has been pretty negative about the FB4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thanks for the review, Bill. You mentioned issues with emulation that purists wouldn't like. In your videos, things actually look pretty decent. What are the issues?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thanks for the review, Bill. You mentioned issues with emulation that purists wouldn't like. In your videos, things actually look pretty decent. What are the issues?? Yes, I made a point of mentioning that because for some people unless it's exactly like the real thing, they won't like it regardless of any other positive attributes it may have. I purposely didn't do a one-to-one comparison, but certainly some colors are a bit off, some sounds don't sound quite right, certain games run a bit faster or slower, and certain games don't flicker like they do on the real thing, etc. Its all minor unless you're sensitive to that kind of stuff or specifically looking for every difference. My main concern was how well everything played overall and was there anything that would cause an obvious annoyance. I didn't find anything, but again, not everyone will want to take the thing on its own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in my last reply that you just quoted above, it's an Atari Flashback 4 basic/standard edition by AtGames at a Fontana, SoCal Rite-Aid, they had about 9 for $29.99 each and 3 Atari Flashback 3s which cost $39.99!

Bartsfam Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 They were stocking the shelves today at my local Big 'Y' Supermarket in Central MA. The kid said they go on sale tommorrow, but he did not know the price. The box seemed thinner then the box that they show on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well, At Games have certainly lost a sale from me. I emailed them ages ago as I tried to order on their site but I could't as I'm in the UK. Never heard back. If that's the customer service before they get my money they can go screw themselves! I really wanted that poster set as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

androidlove Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just did a testing with a room full of retro gamers at a Labor Day party yesterday.... I just joined to thank you for the FB4 review. I was told by a girl at work that the Sega system lagged and broke contact with the IR controller. I had seen 3 positive reviews of the FB4 before I read your report. It also looks like there's a sound sync issue. I took your advice and got a FB2 (not FB2+) for $15.00 including shipping from eBay. It has all the games I was looking for. Later, I'll put in a cartridge slot. I also plan to get the PC joystick adapter. Thanks again. You have saved me money and frustration.

goldenegg Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Has anyone seen these in Canada yet? Specifically in the GTA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'm curious if these are showing up anywhere around here. Funny thing is I got an email from the AtGames Online Store (I pre-ordered through them) - just a mere 37 minutes ago - saying "We have received your order and are in the process of filling it; however, please note that this is for pre-order and the item will be released around late November. We will inform you as soon as the product is available for the shipment. Thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience that this shipment arrangement may have caused."

androidlove Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Amazon says "This item will be released on November 13, 2012." They're taking pre-orders at 52.75. I believe it was at the "List price 59.99" when I checked a couple of weeks ago. I'm in Oklahoma. There have been 4 sitting in my Dollar General for about a week. They're $40.00, but DG always has the $5.00 store coupon on the weekends. Edited November 12, 2012 by androidlove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqoon Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Just as a check, I hit Dollar General and Family Dollar nearby today. No FB4's anywhere in sight. Kind of weird that some DG and FD stores carry them and others don't (at least yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmervine Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I was able to pick up a FB4 at a local Dollar General today. The price was $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
